Visiting Upper Silesia Dictionary For
Foreigners was created in order to help
foreigners with communication in Silesian region.
I added here some photos, because I wanted to
show more than just vocabulary. I hope that those
words placed here will be useful for you and that
your spend in Upper Silesia will be enjoyful.

Let's start...
